12 Real-Life Beastmasters

The Story: As you would expect from a vet student, Andrey Golosov had a soft spot for needy animals. The 24-year-old man hand-reared a cheetah cub after the baby animal was abandoned by its mother. Playing the role of parent, Andrey lived with Seva for five months before returning her to the Moscow Zoo. Seva never forgot her daddy; the natural predator is all kisses and cuddles when Andrey comes to visit. (The Sun)
